Clearing the Air on Wrestling Contract Speculations
Summary
– Mercedes Mone was rumored to have been offered a substantial contract by AEW.
– Recent reports have dispelled the rumor of Tony Khan offering Mone a $5 million contract for five years.
– Mone’s departure from WWE and her ongoing negotiations with wrestling promotions have been a hot topic in the wrestling community.
Mercedes Mone has been at the center of speculation regarding her future in the industry. A recent rumor suggested that Tony Khan, the president of AEW, offered her a $5 million contract for five years. However, this rumor has been proven untrue, as Mike Johnson clarified in a Q&A session on PWInsider.
Mone’s sudden exit from WWE in May 2022 created ripples within the wrestling community. Since her departure, she has focused on establishing her brand and crafting a unique identity in the wrestling landscape. While there were talks about her potential return to WWE, particularly at the Royal Rumble, these negotiations reportedly fell through.
The possibility of Mone’s debut in AEW has been discussed among fans and insiders. Despite the rumors, Johnson emphasized that there is no truth to the claims of the $5 million contract offer. While Mone is a valuable asset, such a hefty contract would be an unreasonable expenditure for any wrestler, as it’s unlikely to double a promotion’s business instantly.
The situation surrounding Mercedes Mone highlights the intense competition and strategic moves within professional wrestling promotions. As negotiations continue, only time will tell where Mone will ultimately end up and how her career will evolve in this dynamic industry.
